Waterfront! Lake Norman Couples Getaway - One Bedroom Apt.

COUPLES GETAWAY

*FLEXIBLE MINIMUM NIGHT STAY, PLEASE INQUIRY*
If you are seeking PEACE and SERENITY to rejuvenate and recharge, this Couple Getaway is for you. But...PLEASE inquire before booking as it is impossible to keep up the calendar as it changes by the minute. Thank you. This one bedroom unit has a bedroom with a king size bed. There is one full bathroom and a full kitchen/living area.
This is not just another sweet spot on Lake Norman, but being on a three-mile island –peninsula, it is place where you can hear nature speak and hear yourself think. Being on the main channel, it offers deep water and breathtaking views of the lake. Don't forget your fishing pole.

Recharge! Revitalize! Renew!

Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck that is frequently a landing spot for herons. Although tucked away on this peaceful island, you are only a few miles from the shopping area of Mooresville where there are hundreds of restaurants, movie theaters, music, dancing and all that you desire. The lovely city of Charlotte is only 30 miles so you get the best of all worlds. Kiser Island is just six miles to I-77. It is also only 1 ½ hours to the Smokey Mountains and the charming city of Asheville.

There are two kayaks available for a minimal rental fee.
TV, internet and utilities are included. Linens and towels are provided as well. There is a laundry area with a minimum fee and a laundromat just minutes down the road. You are requested to bring your own toiletries and paper products.
This can only accommodate an individual or a couple and is not a party animal house as it boasts serenity for those who seek solace for a weekend, week or month or more. I offer all as corporate housing as well.
Absolutely no drugs! Smoking is not permitted in the home.
THE DWELLING:
This very large three-story, 5,000-square foot home offers privacy for each guest as there is not even a shared wall as in a condo or apartment. There are several private sitting areas on a patio with one area being covered so the outside can be enjoyed even if raining. The one- bedroom unit, with a king bed, walks right out to the dock just 30 feet away for those who love to swim, fish, boat, kayak or just enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee or the sunset with a glass of wine. There is of course an outside fireplace, gas grill. and a charcoal grill.

THE DWELLING:
This very large three-story, 5,000-square foot home offers privacy for each guest as there is not even a shared wall as in a condo or apartment. There are several private sitting areas on a patio with one area being covered so the outside can be enjoyed even if raining. The two-bedroom unit on the upper level (VRBO 1699120), with a king and twin beds, has its own deck and grill and gives a lovely aerial view of boats passing by on the lake. There is of course an outside fireplace, gas grill. and a charcoal grill.

The unit offers complete kitchens with a full-size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and all you might need to cook at home.The apartment is fully furnished, to include linens and towels and kitchen utensils and cookware. Guests bring toiletries, personal items and all paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels.To assure privacy, the unit has its own private entrance and nothing is shared on the property except for the parking area, the patio which is about 50 feet long (huge), and the dock.

TIE YOUR BOAT to the DOCK You are welcome to tie your boat to the dock per request and there is an extra ramp for your jet ski at no charge. All I can say is....it works! Rarely are two parties on the dock or patio at the same time as often times I have consultants stay here who work 10 or 12 hours days so most of the time you have the property all to yourself if you so choose. I do at times allow families upon request.

EXTRA PERSON and PET FEE There is a nominal extra-person fee after two guests and a pet fee as well, varying on the length of stay. It is 35 per person per night for up to a week, but is reduced for longer stays. The pet fee is 35.00 for one night, 15 for the second night and 10 thereafter up to one week. For monthly guests the pet fee averages 180 or 6 per night, although it may be more for larger pets.

INTERNET and UTILITIES are included, although I do expect you to be energy and environmentally conscious. TVs are also provided. There is a washer and dryer on the property with a small fee and also a laundromat minutes away as well.


KAYAKS are available for a minimal rental fee. $10.00 one time use or 20.00 each for the entire stay.

THE AREA – BEST of ALL WORLDS

If you prefer to eat at one of the many casual lakeside dining establishments, there are many within just minutes of Kiser Island. The Catawba Queen, a cruise ship of the lake, is just a few minutes away as well. The location is the best of all worlds! The serenity of the island, yet within minutes, there are numerous restaurants, theaters, and shopping for all. There are several boat and jet ski rentals within just minutes as well as two well-maintained free launching pads just a mile down the road. I also can get half price on boat rentals for my guests as boats are available. Bordering on Mooresville, Race City USA, there are Nascar museums and wonderful events in Historic Mooresville and the charming community of Davidson, just down the road. Thee is white water rafting and waterfall tours, and just a few miles away is Lake Norman State Park which also offers kayaking, biking, hiking and more for all nature lovers. I do send a list of all rentals and restaurants on the water and in the area, as well as local events and concerts to all my guests.

Kiser Island is less than 30 miles to the charming city of Charlotte, NC and just an hour to the Smokey Mountains and the must-experience city of Asheville, NC and the Biltmore House. Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Love Valley are also just an hour or so up the road!

WHAT IT IS NOT:
Because I promise peace and quiet, no parties or events are allowed. Absolutely no drugs are allowed nor is smoking allowed inside the apartment. It is a healing environment, not a Disney atmosphere, and I am committed to giving all guests a time to be inspired by their own self reflections and the herons visiting on the dock.

VACATION RENTAL AND CORPORATE HOUSING.
The apartment is available both as a vacation rental but also on a monthly basis for those seeking corporate housing as a desirable alternative to a hotel room or extended stay on a noisy freeway. The longer the stay, the better the rate. Being seasonal, the winter rates are obviously lower than the summer rates.
If you are seeking PEACE and SERENITY to rejuvenate and recharge, this Couple Getaway is for you.
This is not just another sweet spot on Lake Norman, but being on a three-mile island –peninsula, it is place where you can hear nature speak and hear yourself think. The sunsets from the CAUSEWAY, just a few yards down the quiet road, are spectacular. Being on the main channel, it offers deep water and breathtaking views. Don't forget your fishing pole!

The bathroom has shower and vanity, and there is an open area serving as a dinette and living room area. . (Pix get outdated by the week due to continual improvements) . There is an outdoor gas grill and also a charcoal grill if you prefer. (Bring your own charcoal)
For a minimal rental fee there is a canoe, bikes and kayaks available. There is also a boat slip available for !10.00 per night. There are several boat rentals within a few miles.
TV, internet and utilities are included. Linens and towels are provided as well. There is a laundry area for long term renters. You are requested to bring your own toiletries and paper products.
This can only accommodate an individual or a couple and is not a party animal house as it boasts serenity that promises peace and quiet and must be protected for those who seek solace for a weekend, week or month.
Absolutely no drugs! Smoking is not permitted in the apartment.
There is a $250.00 security deposit that will be returned with no damages. This may be waived. I do request a brief conversations with all guests to assure a good match and a most enjoyable vacation.
Pets are negotiable. Please discuss and don't surprise me.
The guidelines on VRBO apply to all guests and agreements. The NC Vacation Rental Statues are enforced for your protection and mine. I reserve the right to evaluate each situation, for example, a single occupant may be a bit less and if there is an extra person beyond a couple, there would be an additional charge. While extended time such as a few months is welcomed, the agreement is as weekly or per week to conform to the legalities of a vacation rental.
You will enjoy!!

not a couple's getaway
The house and property are very nice. The host was inconsistent communicating, so we were unsure of how to check in. There were no written instructions provided. She took too much of our time upon our arrival. We were not provided a WiFi password - the only instructions in the place were to not use the microwave and toaster at the same time. The place was cluttered inside and out and there was no lighting on the steps to the unit. The showerhead was very mildewy. Also, there was about half a bag of coffee and a coffee maker, but no coffee pot or filters. Very disappointed.

Relaxing and Peaceful Weekend
The place was very clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable and we slept well hearing the crickets in the morning when we woke was a bonus. Great view by leaving the curtains drawn to see the lake. Easy access down to the dock of the lake as well to eat, fish or just read a book and relax. The chairs on the patio and down by the dock were comfortable. Edie the property manager was easy to talk to answered all our questions in a prompt and timely manner.

Top-Shelf Stay
We knew we were in for a treat when we set foot on this beautiful Lake Norman property! This VRBO listing far exceeded our expectations. Location-wise, it was the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. We felt a world away from the hustle and bustle, but whenever we wanted to venture out, there were charming local restaurants and shops just a short drive away. The apartment was cozy and relaxing, blending modernity and relaxed lakeside charm. A fully equipped kitchen with every amenity you need for a comfortable stay. We cooked, grilled, and baked every day during our fantastic visit. We spent much time at the private dock enjoying the weather, sounds, and spectacular sunrises. Last but not least, Edie was spectacular. She provided a treasure trove of local tips and was always a call away for assistance. Her hospitality made our stay even more special. In short, if you're considering a getaway to Lake Norman, look no further. This property is a gem, and our memories from this trip will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful Getaway!
We celebrated our 5th anniversary here, it was perfect. The pics on the posting don't do justice to the ambiance of Edie's place. So laid back and as outdoor lovers, we felt right at home. The bonus was the new friends we made. I would recommend this for locals (like us) or anyone looking for relaxing in a serene yet accessible waterfront getaway in beautiful in NC. Thanks Edie, we'll be back!

Piles of broken patio furniture. Tossed aside dead plotted plants. No functioning outdoor lights. Unit itself was full. Loveseat was full of a cover and pillows. Provide dishes were not super clean. Provided towels were stiff and air dried. Owner would never reveal checkin procedure. Yard was full of clutter, trash and worn out furniture. Cats were ready to run in our unit at any moment. Power was lost on day 2, no water. Forced to leave and relocate.

Nice Quiet Getaway + some notes
This 1 bedroom unit on the lower level of Edie's home was a small, cute space. Edie provided some info on local events, stores, and places to eat prior to my stay, which was helpful. I noticed that there were 3 cats on the property when I arrived, which didn't really bother me much. I do think it would be helpful for others to know just in case they have allergies or an aversion to cats for some reason. The unit had appliances and kitchenware that could be used, which was a definite plus. There were a couple spiders and quite a few spiderwebs to deal with, especially in the corners of some spaces. It didn't significantly detract from my stay; nothing a quick vacuum in the ceiling corners can't fix! Overall, it was a nice, quiet, peaceful stay. It was lovely to sit out and eat on the dock and put my feet in the water off the dock stairs. Was a needed getaway!

Owner- was completely unprofessional!!!
I did not get to stay at this property because the owner had double-booked her property. This is after I had signed up on VRBO for Saturday night, she asks if I could switch to Sunday so I rearrange my entire weekend just to drive all the way to the property to be told that she had double-booked the property. I ended up having to stay somewhere else on a Sunday afternoon. This is unacceptable!!! Will never book at this property again and I still haven’t received my refund!!!!

It was fantastic!
The property was everything we needed it to be. Right on the lake with a dock to use and sit on just steps away. Private entrance to our room wit a kitchen and full size fridge and a nice seating area. The king size bed was very comfy! Edie was the best we enjoyed our conversations with her and she was so helpful. I was not able to find a boat rental but she called and got it arranged for us- the best day on the lake with the boat thanks to her! We will be back the place and location is just perfect. Nice island setting away from it all ....but short 10 minutes off the island to get to tons of good food and the boat rental place. All in all this place and Edie were just perfect for me and my family. Thanks Edie! Kevin

About the host

Hosted by Edie Raether

Host profile image
I am not in the real estate business but rather a motivational speaker, corporate trainer, hypnotherapist and bestselling author who rents out the upper and lower apartments in a new home. all private entrances and no shared walls! Woods on one side and a cottage rarely used on the other side so it is extremely quiet and private.
This three- mile quiet island is Nirvana and nature at its best!

Why they chose this property

Because it is the most peaceful, serene place on the earth!!! It is a two mile wooded island. Feels like miles away and yet in just minutes you are near historic downtown Mooresville, and in another few minutes the lovely, charming town of Davidson, a college town.
The dock is just 30 feet from the house and swimming is great as is all water activities or just sipping on a glass of merlot or a morning coffee. Just another 15 miles and you can experience the pleasant and vibrant city of Charlotte. This location offers the BEST OF ALL WORLDS!!.

What makes this property unique

Inspiration! Nature at its best! If you want a ZOO, this is not it! If you want peace and will love it!
